Okay, I just made that up...

(the PS2 train Simulator story threw me off for a bit :) )

But what if...

The X-Box were to be released before Christmas (say October) this year, with a price tag of 150.00 quid...

and to have a full compliment of games avalible at launch?

Would anyone here change their minds and pick up the box?

Would anyone take another look at the new machine?

Or would you stick with what you've got... keeping with the PS2 or waiting for the GC?

The X-Box wont be suffering from Bandwidth problems because its graphics system operates in a different way to that of the PS2...

If you try to code an X-Box game, with the idea that the components work like the PS2's hardware structure, then you will suffer from graphic glitches...

But if you code the program to use the GeForce3 derivitive card and the X-Box structurem then you'll suffer from no graphical glitches at all.

It's true, gays prefer these colours for their cars, wall paper and shirts (if they were them)

Metallic purple, pastel purple, and tinted purple are the colours for gays.

Some purple is cool (my bedroom's purple) but the GC's paryicular pastel shade just loses the futuristic appeal commonly associated with purple and just looks really childish.

I'm sorry, but it does. Orange yes. Red yes. Green very yes but pastel purple?!?!?!

What is wrong with purple? again it comes down to personal taste. I think purple is a pritty cool color and my GBA and GBC are both purple. but i will probably get a black GC to go with my PS2.

Nintendo seem to be using the purple color as the main color for the GBA also, but it is also available in many colors.
